THE ABSOLUTE RETREAT –

The idea of bedrooms as a private sanctuary continues to gain ground, and for good reason ­ in a busy world, they’re an oases of calm, and with its traditional material, and built in furniture, spacious bedrooms and living area are designed with a sense of security in mind, creating a minimal look with modern materials that’s totally classic. Leafy green climbers and pots full of colorful plants, provide a lively rustic view from the kitchen window. It’s not easy being green, but the scenes so lovely, must have been gazed upon by angles in their flight. At night you look out the window, and you realize how isolated the house is. All you can see is the flashing of the lighthouse far away, and the stars. Otherwise it’s completely black and quite, except where the wind blows right across the land and howls around you. Or where the owl hoots, or in the early morning when the birds start up ­ that’s terrible-lovely noise. But, there is something rather cheering about the domestic disorder of our fellow primates. Appearances can be deceptive. How often have you wondered how well some of your closest friends or neighbors are really coping, or indeed your own relatives? Even if you did know, trying to help them face change in later life can be difficult. You can feel the strain melt away, gradually as you walk in, sink into a bubbling Jacuzzi, slip delicious fruit juices, or invigorate your skin with a deep­cleansing body­wrap. The mood of the century is taking shape. What emerges as a spirit of the decade is a sense of harmony­ with you, your family, and nature. Free time is at a premium, but you make a point of getting away for the weekends motoring in the country, wearing clothes you feel comfortable in, and enjoying life at a different pace. To be absolutely serious, the different stylized logos, seen at regular eat­out intervals, is not a symbol that arouses much feeling one way or another, in most of us. Neither is the strange Happy Easter man, an open­mouthed figure that seems to be ticking the back of its own


throat really anything to make you choke on your all­day breakfast. A look that was, is, and always will be, a symbol of unending happiness why wait for a change in scenery, when you can make your own? Go beyond the veil, and dream on in style with serenity candles, that is luminous, sparkling, and your mom even stops crying you see, love does conquer it all!!!
